Monkeypod Kitchen by Merriman

One more vote for the fish tacos. They were knowledgeable and confident.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Had the seafood special. Great atmosphere, recommend.

No separate frier but I had the night’s fish special and it was delish.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Very friendly staff. Some gluten free options. The fries are not gluten free. But they have gluten free tacos. The staff seemed knowledgeable

Previous review said they would cook fries separately. Nope. They will not serve you fries if you tell them you have Celiac! Thank goodness! I had the burger, no bun. No issues.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

They can make their fries in a separate fried and gave me my burger without a bun. Great mai tais too!

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Lovely, knowledgeable staff, delicious food. Definitely not dedicated gf, but I was able to eat! Got Brussels sprouts and fish sandwich with a lettuce wrap instead of the bun and both tested find on my Nima sensor.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Staff was well informed on GF options. I felt safe eating the food and was not sick afterwards.

Not so great. Grilled mahi mahi on the side of avocado and cucumber salad passed my nima test and was nicely pan grilled if there is such a thing. However the fish tacos which were promised to be GF did not pass and gluten was found. Unfortunately, by that time the kitchen was closed so we had to share the salad and one piece of fish and went without one of our dinners.

I’m here right now and don’t understand the previous reviews as they tell me their fryer is NOT dedicated, and the only gf thing they have is fish tacos and chicken wings but they (wings) are spicy.

Tried to have lunch here on our vacation. We were encouraged by the positive reviews but disappointed in the menu options and lack of knowledge of gluten issues from the hostess and waitress. Seems the only options were fish tacos (available gluten free just about everywhere) and a salad of sorts with a $14 added fish option. We left and went to the Hula Grill next door where we have eaten countless times with no gluten issues and with better options. Monkey Pod is way over-rated in this diner's opinion. I give it 3 stars because it does have some gluten free options but only three due to the limited choices and lack of knowledge of the staff we encountered.

Celiac friendly?

No

Excellent fish tacos! Menu isn’t marked with gf but staff knowledgeable and very accommodating.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Great fish tacos! Awesome vibe and location!

This place had delightful fish tacos! The fish was zesty and mouth-watering. We could tell they put a lot of effort in it. This is good for people who enjoy fresh, yummy dishes. Highly recommended for a nice dinner out.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

They didn't have a physical gf menu, but they told me that the fish tacos and salads we're gluten free. It was a little pricey at $20-30 an entree. I had the fish tacos and they were good. They did ask if I was celiac, and took extra precautions.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Not a ton of gluten free options, but the waitstaff was very accommodating both times we went. I have Celiac and did not get sick either time, and I loved the fish tacos!

My wife is celiac and I’m the supportive husband. It was her first time eating fish tacos and she loved them! Fresh fish makes all the difference. The staff was very knowledge about their menu and made great recommendations for her. Cool little joint.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Wow! I was blown away by this place! They do not have a GF menu but their staff was very knowledgeable about what items contained gluten & what they didn't know they went to ask the chef. The food was tasty & their Mai Tai's are supreme (voted best on island for past 5 years)!

Fish tacos were great. Server’s knowledge about Celiac iffy. She told me explicitly that the fries were GF but when I questioned her about whether they had a dedicated fryer she had to ask the kitchen and it turned out they only have one fryer.

No actual gluten-free menu, but pretty knowledgeable staff. Had the fish tacos one day and the lobster deviled eggs another. Unfortunately, the poke (and many sauces marinades) are made with regular soy sauce, so not an option. The salads sound good, as do several of the other entrees. And great happy hour...definitely planning to return again during my trip!
